I served these before and were a big hit!

Cinnamon pretzels
1 (16 ounce) package small pretzels (use mini pretzel twists)
2/3 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Preheat the oven to 300ú.

In a large roasting pan add the pretzels, and spread the pretzels out evenly in the pan.

In a small bowl add the oil, sugar, and cinnamon; stir thoroughly to blend ingredients together.

Pour the oil-cinnamon-sugar mixture over the pretzels; toss well to coat the pretzels with the mixture.

Place roasting pan in oven, bake uncovered for 30 minutes, and stirring twice during baking time (every 10 minutes).

Place baked pretzels onto a baking sheet that has been lined with wax paper.

Spread pretzels out as evenly as you can, to allow them to cool before serving.

**You might want to shake off excess cinnamon before serving

Of course these are always great!

Rolo pretzels

Little sandwiches like egg salad, chicken salad or pimento cheese would be good. Make the sandwiches, cut off the crust and cut into 4ths.

Or how about sausage puffs?

1 lb. hot sausage
1 lb. mild sausage
8 oz. mozzarella cheese, grated
8 oz. cheddar cheese, grated
4 c. Bisquick

Have sausages and cheeses at room temperature. Mix together (use your hands). Add Bisquick and mix again,. Roll into small balls and bake at 350 for about 20 minutes. Makes 75-80.

One more and I'm out of here :o)

I served these at a recent club picnic:

red and green grapes
pepper jack cheese cubes

**I also had cheddar cheese cubes but the pepper jack cubes went before the cheddar cheese. Guess it was the heat and the sweet that made everything good.

Probably too late for tonight, but maybe next time.

Alabama Firecrackers (from: The South in my Mouth)

1 c. vegetable oil
1 envelope ranch dressing mix
1 envelope Italian dressing mix
3 Tbsp. red pepper flakes (crushed) or less
1 pound Ritz crackers

Whisk the oil, dressing mixes and red pepper flakes in a bowl to combine thoroughly. Put the mixture in a 2 gallon plastic zipper bag. Put the crackers in the bag, seal and turn the bag over to cover the crackers with the spice mix. Let the bag sit for about an hour, then turn again. Repeat several more times until the crackers are well-coated with the mix and allow the bag to sit refrigerated overnight. Remove crackers and serve with dip:

Zesty dip:

16 oz. sour cream
1 pkg. taco seasoning mix

Combine thoroughly and chill at least an hour.

I'm still here :o)

Glenda & Pattie...always the faithful posters! Thanks for your responses. I love the sausage balls, but have not heard of the other recipes. I'm most intrigued by the Alabama Firecrackers!

I was looking a pinterest this morning thinking about some baby shower foods, and this wet my appetite. It would be great and healthy for a get together of any kind.
I think cheese added would be nice too.

My favorite snack mix.

Small pretzel twists or sticks
M&M's
Original Goldfish
Party peanuts

Oh and Puppy Chow or Muddy Buddies...
Traditional peanut butter/chocolate...
But they have so many combo ideas now...Lemon, butterscotch.......

These are really good.
little smokies sausage ( the little miniature ones)
bacon
brown sugar
wrap bacon around little smokie, roll in brown sugar
lay them on a broiler pan cook in oven till bacon is crispy or done to your liking. I set my oven around 350 or so.
Spear them on a toothpick

I like the small cut up pieces of beef sticks, you can buy those by the package in beef or turkey. I put a piece of those and a cheese cube together on a toothpick, if I have them I add a seedless grape. The flavors are great together. I find those packages of the beef stick pieces either where the beef jerky is in some stores they have it in the refrigerated area near the cheese.

I think I got this recipe from this site, hmmmm, Coated Grapes, or Sugared Grapes. Now I can't even remember the correct name. lol

Buy seedless grapes, dampen them then roll in jello powder. I bought green grapes and rolled them in sugar free lime jello. I bought red grapes and rolled them in I think sugar free strawberry jello. Put them in the freezer. Serve.

I was surprised at the number of teens who loved these at our last big family gathering.

A big bag of chips!! LOL. My favourite junk food......sigh

Again, too late for the Saturday night party, but. . .

Go to Chex.com and you'll find a ton of either sweet or savory snack combinations. They're also reviewed. I like sites where a recipe is reviewed and commented on.

I like soynuts. They are whole roasted soybeans, that taste similar to a nut, but healthier. I find them in most of the grocery stores here, either with nuts or in the produce section, near a salad bar?

Banana chips or dried fruit like raisins or cranberries?

Also there is a dessert named Brownie Brittle. It is to die for! Thin crispy sheets of brownie. Very light and tasty! Look up Brownie Brittle.com to see where you buy it-Wegmans and Costco carry it.

If I were having a get-together, I would serve those little weenies in bbq sauce and also Scoops with mild, medium and hot sauce - YUM!!!
